Not all of it, was ingrown on bottom corner. So cut a sliver straight down then pried pried out the ingrown part and ripped it out.Oh I thought that would cause this issue:
nail to not grow back fully widthwise
There Will Be BloodApparently if the nail is loose enough or dead, it won't. There be another nail growing that would of made the nail fall out naturally.
I had one that got so infected, my doctor had to pull it out and then I had to wrap it up for a week. It was terrible.

With antibiotics? I remember an infected one that got super swollen and unimaginably tender. A week of antibiotics was needed before a scalpel or knife would be allowed in the same postcode as that toe.
I have to do this once every 2-3 months. No matter how accurately I trim and take care of my toenails, my left big toe will be ingrown in a few months no matter what.
Having no health insurance I have done some incredibly stupid shit to fix it. The last time I did;
1: Toothpick all the way into the nailbed lodged at an angle to "lift" the nail
2: Dremel or razor to cut the edge of the nail off/out
3: Blood in all directions and excrucating pain for hours.
This was while it was right and proper stabbing into my toe itself and was swollen to like 2x the size on the edge. I don't know how I didn't pass out.
